Claude API changelog

Claude API launches Usage and Cost Analytics API in beta

New analytics endpoints report token usage and cost for Console and Enterprise organizations, grouped by model, workspace, API key or user. The older Usage and Cost API is now legacy but remains supported.

Who is affected:

Admins who track Claude spend and usage through the older reporting endpoints.

What to do:

Plan a move from the legacy Usage and Cost API to the new analytics endpoints.

Full Claude Platform available on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed)

Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic managed) is generally available with US and Global endpoints. It gives Google Cloud customers the full Claude Platform feature set with Google Cloud IAM, billing and commitment drawdown. Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5 and Haiku 5.5 are available, and fast mode for Opus 5.5 costs $8 / $40 per million input and output tokens there.

Who is affected:

Teams that buy Claude through Google Cloud and want features that the Google-managed offering lacks.

What to do:

No action needed. Google Cloud customers who need same-day Claude API features can switch to the Anthropic-managed offering.

Claude Platform on AWS launches

Anthropic launched Claude Platform on AWS, the Claude API on Anthropic-managed infrastructure with AWS billing and IAM authentication.
